                                                                         Av 2, 5779
     "Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
     But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all."
                                                                                 Luke 17:28-29
     "The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God."                                                 Psalm 9:17
     No less an authority than the Lord Jesus Christ Himself explicitly stated......
     "For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither anything hid, that shall not be known and come abroad."                                                               Luke 8:17
     ".....for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid that shall not be known."                 Matthew 10:26
Introduction
      I try to keep up with what is  occurring all over the world, on a daily basis, for often world events are "signs" clearly predicted in God's Word, which indicate the soon coming of the Lord Jesus to resurrect and rapture all true believers  "home" to glory.
     Therefore when the news reported that a man named "Trump" had been elected to serve as the President of America in 2016, it definitely caught my attention.  I knew then, and know now, that the name, "Trump," at some point in the past, was derived from the word, "Trumpet."  It is reasonable then for me to believe that the Lord God of Heaven, who most definitely has the final say in such matters [Daniel 2:20-22]  had directed in Donald J. Trump being elected as President of the United States of America.  
     What I am saying is that President Trump was, and is, the "trumpet" God is using to sound forth a final warning to America, to repent or perish.  But in this third year of Mr. Trump serving as the President of America, who is listening to the warnings he has repeatedly given in his efforts to "make America great again"?   Certainly the Demorat liberals and socialists [and communists?], and those of like minds, are not listening to the trumpet warning that God has mercifully sent to America.   
The "Way" America Once Was
      I arrived in America as a new born baby in 1934, the year the historians now refer to as the worst year of the Great Depression.  So I have been here long enough to remember America, when it was GREAT.  
     Americans living today have no idea how bad the Great Depression really was, for they have never had to experience anything like it.  The entire world economy had collapsed in 1929.  There was almost no work for anyone.  But the people were not marching and demonstrating and demanding their "rights," like we see in the streets of America today.   
     Rather, back then  the people worked hard at anything they could do, including planting gardens to grow food for their families.  And strangely enough, they always shared what little they had with their neighbors.  Economic conditions were so bad that the government passed out "commodities" [food; clothing; etc.] in nearly every community in America.   The people receiving them were very grateful, yet even though "dirt poor" themselves,  they willingly shared what little they received with those who were suffering  even worse economic conditions.  People helped one another to make it through the Great Depression.  Even though crime in the larger cities was rampant, the people in general truly practiced "loving your neighbor."  
     During those years the churches all over America were packed with people.  In many cases, there was standing room only. If one didn't get to church services early, there would be no place left in the pews for them to set. Back then, people  needed God's help, and knew they needed it. and came to church services to hear God's Word preached and taught, and to truly worship and praise the living God for His goodness and mercy upon them.  Thousands of people "professed" faith in Christ during those terrible years of the Great Depression.  One might say that the years of the Great Depression were years of
real spiritual revival in America.  
     My parents were dedicated Christians.  They took all of us children in our family to church services on a regular basis, seldom missing a service.  Plus, we had Bible study and prayer in our home.  Because of that Christian influence, I came to salvation in the Lord Jesus when I was eleven years old, and have sought to love and serve the Lord ever since.   I haven't always been faithful to my Lord, but He has always been faithful in keeping me, and guiding and directing in my life.  
     I was seven years old when the Second World War began on December 7, 1941.  I well remember our family listening over our old dial tube type radio, as President Roosevelt read the declaration of war.  That was when the Great Depression ended, and the war began.  Suddenly factories everywhere were converted into producing weapons of war, and there was work for everyone.  
     Every able bodied man in America wanted to enter  military service, and go to war to avenge Japan's attack upon Pearl Harbor.   Our little town opened up a recruiting office, and I saw men  in our town line up for half a block, waiting their turn to "join up."  A military doctor was present to give each man a  quick brief "check up" to see if they were in good enough health to go into military service.  As a young boy, I saw grown men come out of that recruiting office in tears because they had been classified as "4-F," physically unfit to serve in the military.  Love of America and PATRIOTISM was never greater, than it was back at that time.
     It was during those years that Kate Smith wrote and sang the song,  "God  Bless  America."   The  title  of  that  song  became  a slogan on the lips of every American during the Second World War, and the expression remains with us even today.  I frequently hear people proclaim, "God bless America!"  Sadly, I no longer use that expression,  for how can we honestly ask God to bless a nation that has turned their backs on Him, and is literally wallowing in sin,  wickedness, and evil?  
     During those war years, the churches were still filled to capacity in nearly every service.  Mothers and wives were praying for the safety of their men who were away, fighting the war in some foreign country.  Those mothers and wives were earneslty praying for God to protect their men, and bring them safely home to their loved ones.  And the Lord God was hearing and answering such prayers, according to His will.
       Then after four years of bitter war, the war was brought to a sudden end by the dropping of the Atomic bomb on Japan, and the men in the military began coming home.   
     And the CHANGE began.......
The Gratitude of the American People
     The Second World War was brought to an end in 1945, by the invention and use of the Atomic Bomb.  The war was over!  
      America had lost several thousand men in those war years.  But many more thousands came home safely in answer to the prayers of God's people.  So what was the reaction of the people here in America?  
     In a short time after the war, the people in America began abandoning the churches, and instead of serving the Lord, they began fulfilling their lusts, serving the flesh, the world, and the Devil. Drunkenness, drugs, fornication, sports, and entertainment became the way of life for many of the American people, as they turned away from God, Christ, the Bible, the churches, and began a descent into the sewer of sin which is still  going on right to this present hour.  .  
     This was the gratitude America showed to the Lord God, for His mercies in helping America win the war, and thereby preserving the peace and prosperity we enjoy as Americans. ,APOSTASY against God!  In the Post-War years America, as a nation and people, begin turning away from God, and such apostasy is still going on today.    
     It began as a trickle right after the war ended, but soon became a raging torrent.  Church after church was abandoned, until many churches across this country simply threw in the towel, closed their doors, and QUIT.  
     This is evidenced by the average church service today, in which half or more of the church pews are empty, even during the main service on Sunday mornings.  
     But the golf courses are full, the ball parks are filled with cheering spectators, the streams and rivers are lined with fisherman, the state and national parks are filled with people; the race tracks are filled with spectators, etc.,
      But the "men of God" who continue to faithfully preach "all the counsel of God" [Acts 20:27],  are preaching to half filled churches and a lot of empty pews.  This is how America as a nation and people have shown their gratitude to God for His mercies and blessings upon this country.    
     But if the reader of this study is a true believer, don't let this discourage you.  You don't have to be a part of the apostasy; the "falling away" [2 Thess. 2:3]  from loving and serving the Lord.  The Lord God still has His "remnant" of true believers who faithfully love and serve Him.  Thank God for the reminder the Lord placed in His inspired Word for His people.  Read it for yourself in Hebrews 12:1-3.  
The Results of America's "falling away"
     What America has become.......America drifted along for several years after the Second World War, just enjoying the properity and peace the Lord  God had blessed us with as a nation and people.  America had become the "superpower" and leader of the whole free world, and became "proud" of their position.  So much so, that America's national leaders begin to think they could dictate policy to the other nations of the world, and the other nations would obediently "fall in line," Proverbs 16:18.  .  
     Sadly, many nations did exactly that; follow the examples America set before them. This would have been great, if these examples had been those of "moral" righteousness, but they weren't!   Rather, America has become one of the most "immoral" nations on the face of the earth, and many other nations have indeed followed our example.    
     Fast forward to 1973.  This was the year that a case called "Roe vs Wade" was brought before the Supreme Court of America.  The decision handed down by those wicked Supreme Court Justices in 1973, "legalized" the cold blooded, premeditated, MURDER of the innocent unborn.  The "legal"  term is ABORTION. (Sounds better than "murder," doesn't it?}   Yes, the killing of the innocent unborn has been "legal" in America ever since that wicked decision in 1973.  But the decision handed down by those nine wicked men, doesn't change the fact that "abortion" is still  the taking of an innocent human life, which is strictly forbidden in God's Word [Genesis 9:6, Numbers 35:16-18, Jeremiah 2:34, 19:4,  and many other Scriptures in God's Word]... But how many American's today even care?  
     Since the Supreme Court of America "legalized" the practice of abortion in 1973, more than 65 million innocent unborn babies have been brutally killed by the abortionists in America.  
     Of course, since "righteous" America [Sic!] was setting an example for the whole world, nation after nation also followed America's example, by "legalizing" abortion of the unborn in their countries.  Only God knows the real number of innocent unborn babies which have been slaughtered all over the earth since 1973.  Yet America hypocritically continues to refer to itself as a "Christian" nation.  Barf!  
     To add insult to injury, in 1978 the wicked Supreme Court "legalized" the practice of homosexuality, soon followed by the "legalization" of homosexual marriage [marriage between two men or two women].  Read Leviticus, chapters 18 and 20.   
     How does this all sound to our readers who truly believe God's Word?  Yet what I have written thus far, is just the tip of the iceberg!  What fallen unbelieving America has descended to since these wicked Supreme Court  decisions is even worse than what I have described.. How could this be?  Just keep reading.......  
     Today as I write, every large city in America is experiencing a MURDER problem.  It is no longer safe to walk the streets of any large city in America, not even in the day time.  Drive by shootings, school shootings, shootings in factories and businesses have become common daily occurances.  Hardly a day passes, but what there are six to eight murders, or more,  committed in most large cities.  Cold blooded murders are  happening all over America today.  But thiis still isn't the worst of it!.......
The Shameful Secret Finally Exposed
     The Apostle Paul, speaking by Divine Inspiration, explicitly stated, to the Lord's Church at Ephesus, "And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them,
     For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret."  Ephesians 5:11-12.  
       Keep in mind that the Lord Jesus Christ Himself said that every thing that wicked mankind does in secret will be revealed.  Almighty God has arranged it that way.  "Be sure your sin will find you out," Numbers 32:23.  In the past 2,000 years the "wages of sin" have never changed, Romans 6:23.  
The Epstein Octopus
     Every reader surely knows that an Octopus is a marine creature dwelling in the depths of the seas, and that an Octopus has many legs (or arms) reaching out in all directions in relation to it's body.   
     A few weeks ago a man named "Epstein" was arrested, being charged with sexual assaults and abuse of children under the age of sixteen.  Mr. Epstein is one of the wealthiest men in the world, having a fortune in the billions.  He apparently thought because of his wealth and position, he could violate the laws and get by with anything.  WRONG!  The Lord God has arranged the systems of mankind, so that those who choose to live in wickedness and practice evil are always found out.  Praise God!  
     But as it turns out, it was not only Mr. Epstein who was committing sexual assault on children,  molesting and abusing them, but such wickedness was being engaged in by many others  associated with Mr. Epstein.  Just like the arms of an Octopus, this wickedness which has been uncovered by the FBI and other investigators, reaches far and wide and involves many ultra rich and influential men in America, and even in other countries of the world.  
      I am not being overly dramatic, or making any of this up.  As I write I have reports of what has been happening in the Epstein investigation laying on my desk.  Sadly, hardly a word of it is being reported to the world by the liberal, leftist news media.  Why not?  
     Because some of the most well known men in America are involved in this wickedness right up to their ears.
     The background.......Mr. Epstein owns an island.  Over several years he has built an underground PRISON on that island, where little children could be taken, held as prisoners, and sexually and physically abused for his pleasure, and the pleasure of many rich and influential wicked men of the world. His "guests" included men in America, and also men in other countries.
      On his island he had an air strip built where some of these ultra wealthy could fly in. He also had boat docks where some could come to his island by sea.  Of course he had a mansion for himself, and luxiourious living quarters for his "guests."
     Mr. Epstein has been held in prison without bail, under heavy guard, while being questioned by the FBI, and perhaps other investigative agencies as well.  And apparently, under pressure from the FBI, he is squealing loud and clear, implicating many people whose names are well known in America.  So far, from information given him, and perhaps other sources as well, 167 people have been arrested.  The reports I have received does not say how many of these people have been charged.  However, the reports I have received does say that some of these ultra-rich men have placed a 100 million dollar price tag on Mr. Epstein's head, to be given to the man or group of men who succeed in killing him before he is able to give public testimony in court.  
     Dear readers, it is these ultra-rich men who, behind the scenes, are running the governments of the world.  Thank God, for a change, they are being exposed to the light.  
     Who are all of these 167 men arrested so far?  I do not know!  I have no way of knowing, until and unless they are publicly exposed in court.  It is reported that some of them are politicians in the national government, and some even in some state governments..  
     According to information released or obtained, it is claimed that former President Bill Clinton visited Epstein's island on 26 different occasions.  It is claimed that former President Obama has also visited that island in the past, along with various Hollywood and TV celebrities.  
      The wickedness perpetrated on that island.......Wealthy homosexuals, pedophiles, sex addicts, and every kind of perverted creep was invited and welcomed to Epstein's island to sexually and criminally abuse little children.  
     And where did the little children come from?  It is reported  that the little children were kidnapped at Disney World entertainment centers  located  in America, and also in several other nations around the world.  Then they were transported to Epstein's island by Disney Cruise Line ships.  So Epstein and his "guests" never ran out of little children to rape, torture, abuse, butcher, and finally murder.  Their bodies were then burned in large incinerators also located on Epstein's  island.  
     Impossible? I must be making this story up.  Right?  WRONG!  It is reliably reported that a former "Security Guard" at Disney World in Florida has "spilled his guts" to the FBI, revealing to them how the entire operation was being carried out.  It is needless to say that the guard and his family are  now in hiding,
under police protection, and fearing for their lives..  
     As I write the FBI is attempting to contact every set of parents who has reported losing their child while visiting one of  Disney World's location's in America and elsewhere in the world.  Also some former and present employees of Disney World, including managers, have been arrested, and are being interviewed by the FBI, and other investigative agencies.  
      And oh yes!  Word is getting out about Disney's involvement in this evil abuse of little children, and attendance at Disney World's entertainlment centers has suddenly and dramatically dropped.  Praise the Lord!  No reader who is a true believer should ever go through the entrance gate at a Disney World again.   And, in my opinion,, Mickey Mouse and his entourage,  should be eliminated from the TV screens of every home in America.   
America's Soon Coming Judgment
     I urge my readers to check out and verify for yourself the information I have set forth in this study.  There are a number of reliable news reporting sites on the Internet, which are daily reporting more and more details of this wickedness and evil that has been, and is being, exposed.  Praise the Lord!
      But don't depend on your local TV newcast to report on it.  The MSN media today has been bought and paid for by the ultra-rich behind the scenes world leaders, and they aren't reporting any more about this than they cannot avoid, and are forced to report.  
     Check  out the facts for yourself..
Conclusion
     Readers, it is public knowledge that [1] the government of America, through the wicked Supreme Court, "legalized" and endorsed the killing of innocent unborn babies in 1973.   In the now forty six years since that wicked decision was handed down by the Supreme Court,  over 65 million sweet, innocent, unborn babies have been callously MURDERED in this country.  
      [2]   It is public knowledge that in 1978 the Supreme Court "legalized" the practice of homosexuality, which.......
    [3]] in turn led later to the "legalization" of homosexual marriages.  
     All three of the above practices are strictly forbidden by the inspired Word of God.  Read 1 Peter 4:15 and 1 John 3:15. Read Leviticus chapters 18 & 20, and Romans 1:18-32.  
     [4]  And now comes the revelation about Epstein and his island, and about the dozens of rich and influential national leaders involved in the abuse, torture, and murder of young, innocent, childrn.  
     Readers can believe what they choose to believe, but I don't believe there is a snowball's chance in Hell of America escaping the Divine Judgment of Almighty God, and ceasing to be a nation and people.  Complete and total DESTRUCTION is coming, and it is coming REAL SOON.  
     As I write it is seven days before the 9th day of Av on the Jewish calendar.  The Jews traditionally refer to this day as "Death Day" or "Destruction Day" because of all the terrible things which have happened to them on this particular day throughout their history.  Will the 9th of Av this coming weekend be the day the Lord returns to resurrect and remove  His people from this sin cursed world?  Galatians 1:4!
      I don't know!  But since it is right now seven days before the 9th of Av, I couldn't help but remember that the Lord God gave Noah a seven day warning before the judgment of the flood, Genesis 7:4.  Could today be our seven day warning before the terrible judgments of the seven year Tribulation begin?  I don't know!  But we will SOON find out!    
     Read again our text Scripture in Psalm 9:17.   Then paraphraising Amos 4:12,

 "Prepare to meet thy God, O America."

     Mr. Epstein was arrested on charges of sexual assault and molestation of young children.  When brought into court, the judge rightly denied him bail, and he is currently being held in a highly guarded prison cell, while being questioned daily by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.  
     According to reliable reports, there has already been, either one suicide attempt on his part, or  an attempt to kill him.  Now one or more guards are with him day and night all the time.
     Why is he so important?  Because he is the key witness in a child sex trafficing ring, involving many wealth and influential people all over this country, and even in several other countries.  
     Apparently, under pressure from the FBI, he is squealing his head off, implicating many other wealthy and influential scum bags.  So far, in a report received just this morning, 167 people have been arrested.  
     AND THE LIBERAL, LEFTIST NEWS MEDIA IS REPORTING HARDLY ANY DETAILS ABOUT THIS TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!
     Why?  Because some news media people are involved in it.
